You might wonder why I put the clock on this entry. Well the tides are so high here that the park rangers must patrol the beach to make sure we are all safely back up the stairs before the tide is in. First picture of the arch rock was taken at 9:05am. Second picture with the kayak's was taken at 12:05pm. The tide here at Hopewell Rocks goes in or out at a rate of 1 foot every 7 minutes. The tide will recede 150 feet out and rise today 37 feet. This is a small rise since it is mid moon phase. The pinkish color of the water is due to the sediment that remains in the constant changing water. We also got to see a pair of Peregrine falcons. I was not fast enough for a good photo.
